The 58-year-old actor, who portrays the fictional attorney Saul Goodman on the series that serves as a prequel to “Breaking Bad,” had what he called a “small heart attack” while on set in Albuquerque, N.M., on July 27. Odenkirk tweeted at the time the issue was rectified without surgery and he anticipated his return after a short break.
I had a small heart attack. But I’m going to be ok thanks to Rosa Estrada and the doctors who knew how to fix the blockage without surgery.
Also, AMC and SONYs support and help throughout this has been next-level. I’m going to take a beat to recover but I’ll be back soon.— Mr. Bob Odenkirk (@mrbobodenkirk) July 30, 2021
Despite the former “Breaking Bad” star’s return, it is unclear when the final season of the AMC hit series will air.
“Because of the COVID delays, and then Bob’s heart attack and recovery, I have zero idea when or how the episodes will be aired,” the show’s producer Thomas Schnauz told Den of Geek in an interview in late August.
